Jehovah’s Witnesses are planning “God’s Word Is Truth!” Conventions in Winston-Salem this summer.

The Witnesses are launching this series of conventions in the United States during May and will continue the programs worldwide through the end of December.

“The convention theme this year is significant because it underscores a core family value for Jehovah’s Witnesses,” states J. R. Brown, spokesman for the Witnesses. “Witness families embrace the Bible as the most trustworthy guide and source of advice in these troubled times. And we feel that the public will likewise benefit from and enjoy the varied and practical program.”

Mr. Brown notes that personal Bible study is a priority for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Each week, Witness families devote an entire evening to Bible study and research, which they call “Family Worship.”

“The convention this year will provide families and individuals with fresh new resources for family and personal Bible study,” Mr. Brown adds. “And this is the ‘something new’ that Witnesses anticipate receiving each year from our convention programs.”
